[Bit 1]

I'm not racist, but, or not but actually,

I wanted to preface that by saying that

I think there's a beautiful middle ground

between racism, not being racist,

and finding racism funny.

And I'll give you guys an example,

so it's easier to understand.

I'm half American, I know that's a little bit

of a curve ball, but I'm also half Arab.

So to give you guys a good demonstration of a joke that

could be kind of funny was--

for example, I was baking a pie for you all

because you're so nice.

And I thank you all for coming out.

But instead of apple slices, I just use bombs.

[Bit 2]

I'm also, like I said, half-blood.

My parents both speak my dad's language.

They just never taught me, which is, that's fun.

And yeah, so I basically, when my mom told me

that she was, you know, why she didn't teach me

her mother tongue, she said it was 'cause she wanted me

to have her mother tongue.
